Rome Feb.13,1869 



My dear Dr. Weber 



I was really glad to Ret a friendly ans T -re^ so soon from you, 

 and even more, to sret acquainted with you so soon In person in Paris, 

 and to discuss with you the scientific questions, which inte^est us both. 

 But I am sorry, that I should not see mvself your collections I 

 Would it not be possible, to have them come to Paris even before 

 your definitive settliner at the Hotel des Invalides, to enable US to 

 study them together f as the examination of the specimens would create 

 rauch Stimulation and some wind. 



I write principally to move this cause near your heart ! My plans 

 are to leave Romane xt week and to travel to Paris by way of Genoa, 

 Nizza, Marseilles »Montpellier with short stops in all place s,where I 

 shall arrive ab out the e^d of March to stay ^ weeks.Though nothing: 

 eise is fixed, I will probably stay at the Hotel du Weider and look 

 for you quite soon in the Hotel des Invalides or to announce my arrl- 

 val . 



In the meantime my heartiest Meetings in. the hope of neeting 

 you soon in person. 



In f riendship Your 

 G. Engelmann 



It may be the safest,if I would find a note fron you at ny 

 banker Pille t Will & Co, whora I will look up ripcht away.
